What I do & How I work

I've demonstrated success in UX design and education. Here's how:

  • I turn ideas into tangible experiences

    by working with iterative prototyping and structured experimentation

  • I lead multidisciplinary collaborations
    by creating shared understanding across roles with empathy

    by applying analytical thinking to the whole process to support strategic design decisions

  • I make knowledge accessible and actionable
    by distilling complex topics into interactive experiences and mentoring others
